Lightning win Game 5 playing like Rangers

NEW YORK -- The Tampa Bay Lightning took a page out of the New York Rangers' playbook Sunday night and beat them at their own game, looking every bit as comfortable and confident as they are when they wind up their speed and skill to turn a game into a track meet.

This was yet another sign of growth in the Lightning, a team that started the Stanley Cup Playoffs green but is now looking like a grizzled, seasoned group that's ready to win in any way against any team on the biggest stage in hockey.
